She is not an investigator.

"—!"

An indistinguishable roar and wail rang out, and its wings spread out once more, completely sweeping away the tentacles and chaos that were wrapped around its body.

But compared to its previous appearance, it now appears excessively weak.

That was the erosion of the Thousand-Faced God, the slaughter and toy he waged against it in this godless world.

He can no longer get close to this place, but His purpose has been achieved.

Everything that followed was quite simple.

Give it to His allies.

"—!"

Listen to the silent roar, it swoops down from the sky, its tattered wings turning into sharp blades, slashing at the figure that still dares to look at it.

Igris raised her sword and her gun.

"It is my destiny."

boom--!

The bullet left the gun barrel, but did not hit her enemy.

The bullet struck her heart, but it did not take her life at that moment.

The blade in her hand had never gleamed so brightly, and her breathing had never been so heavy.

Life could no longer restrain her power, that attack from the abyss, rising from below and severing everything.

"—!"

"cut--!"

The two figures overlapped, red and black merging together in an instant.

……

Silence.

A silence, as if the world had perished, spread out from the sky and filled the entire city.

Everyone looked up at the image frozen in the sky.

click.

A cracking sound rang out from the weapon in Igris's hand.

This hard blade, seemingly capable of withstanding the erosion of countless hours, shattered completely at this moment.

It quickly fell to the ground, turned into powder, and disappeared without a trace.

But at this moment, those pure and sacred feathers began to fall off.

The red rain, mixed with blood, fell to the ground.

"…Oh."

She smiled dismissively, and casually lowered the broken sword in her hand.

"However... that's all."

Two figures fell simultaneously, crashing onto the street.

Its sacred wings were completely severed, and its body was almost completely cut off by the attack.

Her body lost all strength, her skin turned pale, and wrapped in bandages, it slowly crumbled, turning into invisible bubbles.

She succeeded.

She successfully swung the sword that symbolized death; she successfully did what she was supposed to do.

"—!"

A silent roar came from its mouth. It had lost the ability to fly, its body was broken and mangled, and its life was about to end.

But it didn't.

But it is still alive.

Therefore, it will eventually bring divine punishment.

Countless angels with broken wings descended from the sky, circling around it and following its every move, raising their weapons high.

Boom—!

An explosion suddenly erupted on its body.

Its body staggered violently, and it looked angrily at the source of the explosion.

"Captain—it hit!"

"Don't stop! Open fire! Shoot it to death!"

"Yes!"

The crow's response became excited, and its movements became more eager.

He had never had the chance to fire this type of ammunition before; this was the first and the last time.

After this battle, he may return to his grave, lose everything he has, and be separated from his teammates forever.

But that's not something he should be thinking about.

At this moment, there is only one thing he needs to do.

"Load, fire—!"

The Gods' Folly - Beyond the World: Chapter 41, Battle, The Only Desire

"—!"

Its rage had never been so intense. The constant obstacles and attacks that had followed since its appearance had driven it almost to madness.

Its wounds constantly reminded it of its humiliation; it was resentful and bewildered.

Why would these ants, these insects, harm it?

It will crush them, crush all those who dare to attack it.

"—!"

The broken-winged angels responded immediately, raising their weapons and charging towards the nearby squad without hesitation.

"Crows! Move aside! They're attacking!"

"Captain, I only have enough ammo left to fire one more shot."

"crow?"

"I am honored to return to the battlefield under your leadership."

"Crow! Obey orders!"

"Sorry, Captain."

The crow ripped off its headset, ignored the angel rushing towards it, and raised its gun once more towards the mangled body in the distance.

"I am a young man, younger than most people, so I always had the best expectations for the future, until I experienced the cruelty of war and watched my comrades die in front of me."

"I was forced to mature, forced to become composed, but now, the spirits standing here, the crows standing here, are forever young, forever untamed!"

boom--!

"Let this bullet be a fireworks display for my life."

…………

"Crows! Crows! Damn it..."

Boom—!

Another explosion rang out. Without the protection of the angel, its body was blasted apart by the explosive warhead, with most of its body being destroyed.

The raven's cries disappeared from the channel, and the angels once again took the undead from hell away.

But his courage, his mission, everything about him will remain here forever.

It remains in everyone's heart.

"Scorpion! Avenge him!"

Before Anfer could even utter a sound, a rocket had already been launched from a corner of the street.

The rocket's flight speed wasn't particularly fast, and it reacted almost instantly, catching it in its hand.

Boom—!

An even more violent explosion followed, severing its arm and bringing its rage to its peak.

Using its only remaining arm, it forcefully ripped the bone from its single wing and hurled it like a javelin towards the scorpion, moving faster than a bullet.

"Scorpion? Scorpion! What's wrong with you? Answer me!"

No sound.

"..."

Time and time again, again and again.

His teammates fell before him once again, falling in battle after battle.

But this time, but this time.

He will no longer back down, he will no longer be lost, and he will no longer live alone.

This was his life. He had to, he could only, dedicate his life to the battlefield and give everything.

"Scorpion, crow, I'm coming to join you."

Anfer turned his gaze to the jug of wine the raven had left him and took a big gulp.

When it's all over, let's drink to our hearts' content in hell.

"Hey! Old man! If you want to die, don't be in such a hurry."

"That voice..."
